The Apple® Mac OS
Solution
for IBM® AS/400® Client Access Connectivity
 Now you can access the AS/400 from your
Macintosh with a family of product solutions in a single integrated package. Developed
around the same core code as IBM’s Client Access for Windows and OS/2, the
MacMidrange Client from NLynx Systems is true AS/400 Client Access software for
Apples’s Mac OS. MacMidrange Client allows you to connect a Macintosh or clone to an
AS/400 and perform tasks such as sharing files, terminal and printer emulation, and to
view your files in graphical format. MacMidrange Client also supports Open Database
Connectivity (ODBC) for database serving.
 | Flexible terminal emulation for your AS/400.
MacMidrange Client gives you the flexibility to meet special user and keyboard function
needs. MacMidrange Client emulation incorporates easy-to-use functions such as cut and
paste, cut and append, and hot spots. The auto-key feature permits automatic recording and
playback of frequently used key combinations. Online keyboard remapping allows the simple
remapping of keyboard functions. MacMidrange Client also allows on-screen, tear-off
keypads for convenient placement on the desktop. Color attributes may also be modified,
and 132-column mode is supported. |
| Integrated File System Support.
Manipulate
files quickly and easily with MacMidrange Client. Mount an AS/400 volume like any other
remote Macintosh volume, then create, delete, and copy files and entire folders to and
from the AS/400 with a simple click and drag of your mouse. QDLS (Office Vision) files are
automatically translated to your favorite Macintosh data format for use on your Macintosh.

lets you make more effective use of your data. Now you can arrange and organize your
databases in the ways best suited to meet your needs. The MacMidrange Client Drop Table

formatting, and delimiters can be automatically determined from the text file or can be
user defined. |
